Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

No vacation goes unpunished

I read a study that the ideal holiday lasts for more than 8 days. One of the reasons is that if you leave for less there is usually little adjustment made to your workload, whereas if you leave longer tasks are distributed to others for that period. This will depend on your type of work and workplace though.

Was there ever a moment when there wasn't a pile there?

I mean... in the comic there is, but it's completely unrealistic. And the size of the pile doesn't matter if it will never be finished.

Eh. The work will always be there tomorrow. And anytime you finish there will always be more, so it’s not worth worrying about. Take the time off to rest and recuperate and instead of focusing on how much there is, just focus on what you can do and not worry about the rest. That little mindset shift can do wonders for your mental health.
